Question: A simple batch distillation separates (0.6 mathrm{kmol}) of a binary feed that is 70.0 (mathrm{mol} %) methanol and (30.0 mathrm{~mol} %) water. The final still
A simple batch distillation separates \(0.6 \mathrm{kmol}\) of a binary feed that is 70.0 \(\mathrm{mol} \%\) methanol and \(30.0 \mathrm{~mol} \%\) water. The final still pot is \(10.0 \mathrm{~mol} \%\) methanol. Find \(\mathrm{W}_{\text {final }}\), distillate \(\mathrm{D}_{\text {total }}\), and \(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{D}, \text { avg. }}\). VLE data are in Table \(2-8 . \mathrm{p}=1.0 \mathrm{~atm}\).

a. Use Simpson's rule.
b. Use the Gaussian quadrature formula.
